I went out side on the front porch to see if I could see anything and I looked up to the northeast and saw a massive string of lights. The lights had to be one a singles craft. What ever this was it was to slow to be a plane. ,I live next to an airport. I know what that looks like. You could not see the craft just the outline because of the lights. It was so loud, others have had to have seen this. If anyone else knows anything, please share. This was the size of a city in the sky. As far as I know, we don't have anything this large that can fly.

Walked into bedroom to start getting ready for bed about 12:30, after all the fireworks around the neighborhood had died down. There are three high windows in the back bedroom, at 12:40 noticed a reddish orange sphere like object moving in a north westerly direction, visible for about 15 seconds, and then partially obscured by the tops of the trees for about 10 seconds. After that it wasn't visible anymore. There was no noise at all, the wind was not blowing. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
